I gotta agree. It really isn't that good.

WWE seems to be using Punk as a "take that" to all the smark/IWC/blogger complaints. There were some critical articles on the blogs about the subject of the WWE champion not seeing a main event PPV match in so many months, so to address it they've booked Punk taking what is a valid complaint and using it as an excuse to be a big jerk.

Why change what works?

Why is it always so negative on this forum?

Punk is finally being treated like a main eventer. They're establishing him, featuring him, focusing on him. He's got a good direction, good position, good material. His current run is cementing him as a top, top talent. But the angle isn't perfect, so lets complain.

Given were he was placed on the card as champion up until the heel turn, shouldn't it be enough that Punk is in a much stronger position right now than he was two months ago?

I have loved Punk's heel turn, and I think it will payoff once Lesner returns to complete the stable. Personally I would like to see another person added maybe a Dolph Ziggler or a debuting Dean Ambrose (but that is wishful thinking). I just love that CM Punk is the complete opposite of cena, and thats enough for me.

I don't like the stable idea because Brock is not a second tier star to Punk so unless its a partnership I don't see this working out.

Punk's character is just fine right now. It was getting a little stale around the time of the AJ/Bryan/Punk love triangle but they sorted it out with this heel turn.

The question that should be asked is: Can't creative find something else for the rest of the damn roster?

I guess it's the usual Internet thing, that some people aren't happy unless they are unhappy. This is pretty mild seeing how there are a few posters on the board that mainly post about CM Punk, despite (or because) that they don't like him. But I do agree with you that it's far better to focus on the positives since that's far more likely to lead to actually being entertained.

The only problem with the storyline is that Punk has actually been booked very strong in his title reigns, in title matches he has beaten everyone relatively clean so it makes no sense that guys like JR/Cena aren't giving him respect. This type of angle would be fine if he had cheated his way through the 300+ day title reign but he hasn't and if he isn't " Best in the World" then who is?

For a heel gimmick, Straight Edge means I'm better than you > I demand respect!, loved the gimmick, he probably won't go back to it but I'd rather see that mke a return.
